CHAPTER 1
NETWORK SETUP TASKS
INTRODUCTION
To begin using the SuperScript Color Laser Printer as a
network printer follow these tasks:
1.
OVERVIEW
The main purpose of this book is to help the network
administrator integrate SuperScript Color Laser printers into
an Ethernet network. The first eight chapters describe setting
up the printer on traditional networks using such systems as
NetWare or Windows NT. Chapter 9 describes Web or
Internet printing using NEC’s unique PrintAgent software.
As described in the user’s guide that came with your
particular SuperScript color laser printer, each printer comes
with its own built-in web server and home page. You can set
up driverless printing and perform network administration
tasks directly from the printer’s home page. See Chapter 9 for
more information on this topic.
Some simplified instructions are included in this guide, but
ideally we assume that you have the following:
•
•
•
•
A working knowledge of your network utilities and
system.
The correct network software.
A completely operational system.
Access to the supervisor account as a network
administrator, or access to an account that has supervisor
privileges.
Connect the printer to your network.
note: If there is an N in the model number on the
SuperScript printer, such as 4600N, it already has a
network interface card (NIC) installed. If it is a printer like
the 4400, you can purchase a Network Interface Upgrade
Kit and install a NIC yourself. See Chapter 2 of this user’s
guide for instructions.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Obtain the printer’s IP address.
Assign the IP address to the printer. (This step is not
necessary if a DHCP server is present.) See chapter 3 for
details.
Access the Network Administration page to configure
the NIC.
Reconfiguring or modifying the NIC parameters can be
done using the Network Configuration page or MAP.
Chapter 4 explains more about this.
Configure the network and workstations to use the
SuperScript Color Laser network printer.
After configuring the NIC, you are now ready to setup
the computer to print. Select your operating system and
continue configuring your system. The SuperScript CD
that came with the printer contains network printing
tools to support the following operating systems and
network protocols.
From Windows 95/98
• If you have a NetWare network, see Chapter 6 for
NetWare 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x configuration information.
• If you do not have a designated server, you can print
directly to the network printer using the peer-to-peer
software provided on the SuperScript CD that came with
the printer.
• Without a designated network server, you can also set up
shared printing, see page 25.
1
From Windows NT 4.0
• If you have a NetWare network, see Chapter 6 for
Netware 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x configuration information.
• In a Windows NT network you can use LPR printing. See
Chapter 5.
From Windows for Workgroups
• If you have a NetWare network, see Chapter 6 for
Netware 5.x, 4.x, and 3.x configuration information.
• You can also use shared printing, see Chapter 5.
From Mac OS
See Chapter 7 of this user’s guide to set up and print from
Macintosh computers over EtherTalk.
From Unix
See Chapter 8 for installing the printer on a UNIX system in
Solaris 2.x and SCO.
TYPICAL NETWORK SETUPS
10 or fewer computers because peer-to-peer networking
software limits the number of users attached to any one
shared resource.
In this scenario, print clients use the network to send print
jobs directly to the printer. There is no intermediary
computer (server) that gets involved between the printer and
print clients.
Each client must compete with other clients for printer
availability. If the printer is busy processing a print job, each
client must store their jobs until the printer is ready to accept
them. However, the printer can be upgraded with more
memory to temporarily store multiple jobs until they are
printed. Shown below is an illustration of the peer-to-peer
topology.
Peer-to-Peer Topology
An Ethernet LAN is used to interconnect the printer and print clients.
Print clients send print jobs directly to the printer, but each must wait
for printer availability.
Typical Ethernet networks fall into basically three different
categories or topologies. Network topologies describe how a
network interconnects computers with other equipment such
as a printer. The following describes three topologies that can
be used as solutions for networking your printer. For web
printing options see Chapter 9.
Note: In this user’s guide, the term “print client” means
a computer that can send a print job to the printer.

Types of Network Topologies
Three networking topologies can be used for networking
your SuperScript color laser printer.

Peer-to-Peer Topology
Printer Server Topology
Printer Sharing Topology
Peer-to-Peer Topology
Peer-to-peer topology is the simplest way to network your
printer. It involves print clients, a printer, and a network to
interconnect everything. The network operating system
(NOS) can be Microsoft NT Server, Novell NetWare, or
UNIX. Peer-to-peer is used primarily in smaller networks of
2
SuperScript Color Laser Network Guide
Print Client
Ethernet
Network
A local area network (LAN) interconnects the printer and all
the print clients. The network can be a 10MB or 100MB
Ethernet LAN that transports TCP/IP or IPX protocols.
Print jobs sent by clients must not pass through a router to
get to the printer.
Printer Server Topology
The printer server topology involves a computer, called a
printer server. All print clients send their print jobs to the
printer server. The printer server then sends the jobs to the
printer. The network operating system (NOS) can be
Microsoft NT Server, Novell NetWare, or UNIX.
Printer Server Topology
An Ethernet LAN is used to interconnect the printer, printer
server, and print clients. Print clients send their print jobs to
the printer server where they are queued. The server then
sends the jobs to the printer. The server also controls access to
the printer.
Ethernet
Network
In this scenario, print clients use the network to send print
jobs directly to a computer that is configured as a printer
server. The server then sends the jobs to the printer.
The server can receive and store multiple print jobs; this is
called queuing. Jobs are sent to the printer in the sequence
that they are received. This process relieves a client from
having to process the print job and allows them to focus on
other computing tasks. The server can also be configured for
controlling access to the printer and recording all printing
activity.

INTRODUCTION
The printer and each print client use their own network cable
to connect to the network.
Microsoft Printer Sharing Topology
Microsoft Printer Sharing topology involves a LAN that
interconnects the print clients. The printer is directly
connected to one print client using a parallel cable. The client
then is configured to share its printer. Clients that want to use
the printer must be configured so they can connect to the
printer.
Printer Sharing Topology
A LAN is used to interconnect the print clients. One print client
is connected to the printer using a parallel cable, and is also
configured to share it with other print clients. The sharing client
can control access to the printer.
If the sharing client receives a print job while its performing
other computing tasks, it may slow down. The network
operating system (NOS) can be Microsoft NT Server, Novell
NetWare, or UNIX.

NIC INSTALLATION
INSTALLING THE NETWORK
INTERFACE CARD (NIC)
Order # 4010
What You Will Need
OVERVIEW
If you have an NEC SuperScript™ printer already equipped
with a Network Interface Card (NIC) there is an N in the
model number. For example, the SuperScript 4600N. If you
have a printer without a NIC, such as the SuperScript 4400,
you can upgrade it by installing a NIC. A NIC is a printed
circuit board containing hardware for connecting a printer or
computer to a network.
You will need to provide the following hardware to install
the NIC in your printer and connect it to your network:
•
A phillips-head screwdriver
•
a Category 5 twisted pair cable with RJ-45 connectors for
10/100Base-T Ethernet®
The SuperScript Network Interface Upgrade Kit contains a
NIC that allows you to connect your SuperScript color laser
printer to a network. This makes it the ideal printer for
workgroups and small offices.
note: The NIC automatically detects whether you have a
10 Mbps or 100 Mbps Ethernet connection. For better
performance, NEC recommends you use shielded cable
and connectors when connecting to 100 Mbps Ethernet.

loosen the screw of the upper one and rotate the small
bracket (D). Avoid touching the Controller Board
circuitry and components!
5. Remove the NIC from its protective bag (E). Handle the
NIC only by its edges.
6. Hold the NIC so that its circuitry faces inside the printer
and its LED’s face the back of the printer. Carefully align
the standoff pin with the lower right corner of the NIC.
7. Plug the NIC’s connector to the Controller Board as
shown (F).
8. Use the mounting screws and bracket to fasten the NIC
to the standoff pins as shown. Attach the screw removed
from the front in step 3 (G).
9. Slide the Controller Board back in the expansion slot.
Reinstall and tighten the screws (H).

SuperScript Color Laser Network Guide
Turn on the printer (C). It may take up to 90 seconds to
warm up, and then it prints a Network Settings page
with NIC status information.
note: Keep the Network Settings page. You will need
this information when configuring the NIC for your
network.
Each time you turn on the networked printer, it prints a
Network Settings page. The Network Settings page provides
information about the network printer settings and network
connections. You should review this page immediately after
NIC installation and any time you change the configuration
to verify that the procedure was done properly.
In the illustration at the right, important features are circled.
The Print Server Name. (which is also on the back of the
NIC), is used for printer identification in peer-to-peer and
NetWare protocols. The Network Address is the hardware
address or MAC address. The Protocol Address is the IP
address you assign the printer. You can set a new AppleTalk
Printer Name using the Apple Printer Utility.
Another way to print the Network Settings page is:
1. Go to the URL Configuration Page, the URL is
http://<IP address>/configure.html.
2. Click on the Network Administration link. This displays
the Network Administration Page.
3. Click Configure Status Page, then click Generate Now.
(The Network Administration Page is described in
Chapter 4.)

NIC FEATURES
NIC Status Lights
When the NIC is installed, its two status lights, amber and
green, are located on the Interface Panel on the back of the
printer. Light patterns for normal operation are:
Green light is on solid: This shows normal operation
while the printer is awaiting print jobs.
Amber light blinks continuously: This shows that the
NIC is receiving a print job.
Green light blinks 3 times and stays on: This occurs
when the printer has performed a successful self-test. It
then prints a Network Settings page.
Light patterns that identify error conditions are
described in Appendix A, “Troubleshooting” see page 57.
Resetting the NIC
If you change network settings, you may need to reset the
NIC for the new settings to take effect.Turn the printer off
and then on again, or:
1. Go to the URL Configuration Page, the URL is
http://<IP address>/configure.html.
2. Click on the Network Administration link. This displays
the Network Administration Page.
3. Click Reset in the System column,
Restoring Factory Default Settings
You can reset the NIC to its factory default settings. This
means that the NIC clears data such as names and IP
addresses. It does not lose its serial number or Network
Address. If you have changed the printer’s name, it will
revert to its default name.
note: You should restore factory defaults when the
printer is moved to a different network.
To reset the NIC to factory default settings
Go to the Network Administration Page and click Factory
Defaults in the System column. You will need to enter a
password (the default is sysadm). Then turn the printer off
and on again. The Network Administration Page is described
in Chapter 4.

CHAPTER 3
Selecting an IP Address Assignment Method
IP ADDRESS
If a DHCP server is not present, there are several ways to
assign a TCP/IP address to your printer.
OVERVIEW
Operator Panel
Use the printer’s Operator Panel to assign the IP address to
the printer.
To take advantage of the many SuperScript network features,
you must assign an IP address to the printer network
interface card or NIC. This chapter explains several ways of
assigning an IP address.
ASSIGNING
THE
IP ADDRESS
Obtaining the Printer’s IP Address
Obtain the printer’s IP Address from your network
administrator. (This step is not necessary for Macintosh users
or if you have a DHCP server.)
note: If a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server is present, an IP address will automatically be
processed and returned to the NIC. A Network Settings
page will print showing the printer IP address. See page
16 for more information about DHCP.
SuperScript MAP Utility
Use the printer’s Management Access Program (MAP) to
assign the IP address from the following operating systems
Windows 95/98
Windows NT 4.0
BOOTPL32
Use BOOTPL32 to assign the IP address from the following
operating systems
Windows 95/98
Windows NT 4.0
ARP
Use ARP to assign the IP address from the following
operating system
Windows 95/98
11
Using the Operator Panel
You can use the Operator Panel to enable and set up the
TCP/IP networking parameters for the printer. This is
particularly useful for setting the network IP address so you
can use it as the printer’s URL in Web-based printing (see
Chapter 9). Also, use the Operator Panel to set the IP address
on a UNIX system. Follow these steps:
1. Press the Online button of the Operator Panel. OFFLINE
appears on the display.
2. Press the Menu button to enter menu mode. CONTROL
appears on the display.
3. Press the Next button until COMMUNICATIONS appears
on the display, and press the Select button.
4. Press the Next button until NETWORK appears on the
display, and press the Select button.
5. Press the Next button until TCP/IP appears on the display,
and press the Select button.
6. Press the Next button until NET ADDRESS appears on the
display, and press the Select button.
7. Use the Operator Panel buttons to set values for each of
the 12 digits in this manner.
First press Next to set the cursor to the first digit.
For the first digit, press Select to increment to the correct
value. Then press Next to move to the next digit and
press Select to increment to its correct value. Continue
until all twelve digits are set. When the final digit is set,
press Next to confirm the Net Address you set and then
press Select.
8. Press Menu to exit menu mode and press Online to
bring the printer online.
To validate any changes to network settings, you must turn
the printer off, and then on again.
Communications Menu
This menu contains settings that enable the printer to receive
print jobs from the NIC. It can be used to configure
emulations and networking protocols. A diagram of the
Network choices are shown in the box at left. For more
information on the Operator Panel see your SuperScript
printer user’s guide.

14
SuperScript Color Laser Network Guide
Insert the SuperScript Color Laser CD.
Launch BOOTPL32
In Windows access the CD ROM drive and launch
BOOTPL32 from the bootp directory
or Type E:\BOOTP\BOOTPL32.EXE from the Start>Run
dialog box.
Select Configure from the Admin menu.
a. Enter the IP address to assign to the printer.
b. Enter the subnet mask.
c. Enter the default gateway address (if applicable) or
leave blank.
d. Enter the hardware address of your printer. This
address is listed on the Network Settings page under
Network Address, for example,
00:40:af:c9:f0:d8. Enter it exactly as it appears
on the Network Settings page.
4. Click on Go to send the new settings to the printer.
After a few minutes (usually between 1 and 2 minutes, but
possibly up to 5 minutes on very large or busy networks), the
printer will reset and print a Network Settings page. The new
IP settings will be listed in the TCP/IP Network Information
section of the Network Settings page.
Using ARP
You can use the following procedure to set the IP address on
the printer. Then, you can set the other IP parameters from
the Network Administration page. The network printer must
be on the same network segment as the workstation that you
are using to configure it. The TCP/IP stack must be installed
and operating.
1. From Windows, start an MS DOS session.
2. At the command prompt enter: arp -s
[IP address] [Hardware Address]
(for the hardware address, use hyphens as separators,
instead of colons.)
(e.g. >C:arp -s 123.123.123.1 00-40-0f-1234-56)
Then enter ping [IP address]
(request should time out)
(e.g. >C:ping 123.123.123.1)
3. Turn the printer off and on, and use the ping command
again to verify that the printer has its IP address. If it has
the address, the result is a confirmation message: [IP
address] is alive
4. Remove the entry from the ARP cache using this
command: arp -d [IP address]
(e.g. >C:arp -d 123.123.123.1)
If the new IP address does not appear on the Network
Settings page under “Protocol Address,” you may have
entered the hardware address incorrectly in BOOTPL32.
Repeat Steps 2 and 3, and check the IP address on the new
Network Settings page.
The new IP address can also be verified in BOOTPL32 by
turning the printer off and on, and selecting Verify from the
Admin menu. It should report that the Unit is Active.
Assigning the IP Address
15
IP ADDRESS
3.
Using DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) allows
automatic assignment of IP address and other IP parameters
for attached devices. The SuperScript color laser printer
works with DHCP in the following way.
At power-up, the printer’s NIC broadcasts a DHCP request
for an IP address. If a DHCP server is present, the request
will be processed, and an IP address will be returned to the
NIC. Upon receipt of the IP address, the NIC resets, and
prints a Network Settings page. This shows the new IP
address (and subnet mask, and default gateway, if any).
Under factory default settings, once an IP address has been
assigned to it, the NIC will no longer broadcast DHCP requests. If
you uncheck IP Address in NVRAM, in the Network
Administration Page, the printer will broadcast a DHCP request
each time you turn on the printer.
The DHCP server may grant a temporary IP address, called a
temporary lease or temporary reservation, which expires
later, or may grant a permanent or unlimited lease or
reservation which does not expire.
Devices that are granted a temporary lease will be notified
before the lease expires and asked if they would like to
extend the lease. The NIC will continue extending its lease
indefinitely (unless prohibited by your DHCP server
configuration), and thus maintain a consistent IP address.
Important: If the NIC is not turned on or is not connected to
the network when the DHCP server is sending requests to extend
the lease, the lease will not be extended. The DHCP server will
cancel the lease and may assign the IP address to another device.
Therefore, it is highly recommended to explicitly specify the NIC
lease as permanent or unlimited in your DHCP server
configuration.
Verify that your printer was assigned an IP address through
the Network Settings page, then proceed to setting up your
workstation to use the printer.

WINDOWS SETUP
Installing Peer-to-Peer Software
Follow these steps to install the correct software.
WINDOWS PEER-TO-PEER
Peer-to-peer printing allows Windows 95/98 computers to
print directly to a networked printer without an intervening
file server. Below are the main features of peer-to-peer
printing.
• Runs on Windows 95/98 and workstations or servers
“out of the box.”
• Runs on networks with or without a NetWare file server.
• Implements peer-to-peer direct printing between
Windows computers and networked printers.
• You can configure network printers the same way you
configure printers directly attached to a computer.
note: In isolated, serverless networks, the NIC should
be used with its factory default settings.
IP vs. IPX Peer-to-Peer Printing
Your network configuration will dictate whether IP or IPX is
more appropriate. However, we recommend you use IP peerto-peer printing if possible.
For IP Peer-to-Peer Printing: You must install
PeerToPeer-IP. This protocol allows you to access the
network printer over an IP network. The Microsoft TCP/
IP protocol stack must also be installed and properly
configured on your workstation. The network and the
network print servers must support IP.
For IPX peer-to-peer Printing: You must install
PeerToPeer-IPX. It is not necessary to have a NetWare file
server on the network to use this protocol.
IP Peer-to-Peer
1. Insert the printer driver CD that came with your printer,
for example, SuperScript 4400 Series CD.
2. Press the Windows Start button and select Run.

CHAPTER 8
UNIX SETUP
SETTING UP
ON A
UNIX SYSTEM
Here we provide basic instructions for installing the printer
on your UNIX system in Solaris 2.x and SCO. For additional
information, refer to your operating system administration
manuals.
Configuring the IP Address on the Printer
First the SuperScript color laser printer must be assigned an
IP address and routing parameters. We suggest you use the
instructions in Chapter 3 for using the printer Operator Panel
to set the Net (IP) Address.
Setting Up Your Printing Mode
Use these instructions to set up the printer for SCO Open
Server Enterprise 5.0 and Solaris 2.x.
Installing the Printer in Your System
lpd is an implementation of the standard UNIX line printer
daemon which lets you print across a TCP/IP network,
without the need to install software on your workstation, and
with all filtering and banners done by the printer. Remote
printing uses the same commands (lpr, lpq, lpc) as local
printing.
Adding a SuperScript Color Laser Printer to Solaris 2.x
Log into your system as root. Add the printer’s IP address
you already assigned into the /etc/hosts file. Using
lpsystem follow these steps to open a terminal and enter
the printer’s IP address from the command line.
1. lpsystem -t bsd <IP address of printer>
[ENTER]
Enter the 4400N print server host name from the
/etc/hosts file. Your system may want its IP address
instead of the remote host name.
2. lpadmin -p <printername> -s <remote host
name or IP address>!PORT1 [ENTER]
note: There is no space after the remote host name.
3. Enable<printername> [ENTER]
4. Accept<printername> [ENTER]
Then, make sure that the printer content type is set to PS” by
typing lpstat -p -l to display the current printer settings. If it
is not set to PS, type the following on the command line to
change the printer settings.
5. lpadmin -p <printername> -I ps [ENTER]
6. lpadmin -p <printername> -T PS [ENTER]
To test that the printer was installed into the system, send a
print job using any application in your operating system.
Make sure that the printer you choose is the SuperScript
printer that you installed earlier.
The process begins when the LPR call finds a printer on a
remote system by looking at the remote (rm) entry in the
/etc/printcap file for that printer. LPR handles a print
job for a remote printer by opening a connection with the lpd
process on the remote system and sending the data file
(followed by the control file containing control information
for this job) to the remote system. The printer-based lpd then
filters the data and prints the job according to information
contained in the control file and its own printcap file.
The following sections give specific lpd setup instructions for
various systems. The SuperScript 4400N printer will be used
as an example. You must log in as root in order to execute the
commands.
37
Adding a SuperScript Color Laser Printer to SCO
OpenServer 5.x
Log into your system as root. Add the printer’s IP address
you already assigned into the /etc/hosts file. Using
lpsystem follow these steps to open a terminal and enter
the printer’s IP address from the command line. A
SuperScript 4400N printer will be used for this example.
1. Set up the SuperScript 4400N printer as a remote printer
on a host that sends jobs to a Print Server using lpd. Use
the following procedures to do this:
At the prompt, type: mkdev rlp
note: You cannot run mkdev rlp twice. If you have
additional printers to be configured, use the rlpconf
command.
2.
You will now be asked a series of questions. Respond as
follows. Do you want to install or remove a remote
printer? Type: I
3. Do you want to change printer description file
/etc/printcap? Type: Y
4. Write a printer name. For example,
type: lprprinter1
5. Is lprprinter1 a remote printer or a local printer? Type: R
6. Enter remote host name: type host name entered in
printcap for the 4400N. For example, type: lprprinter
7. Confirm the information you have entered. Type: Y
8. Confirm the preceding connection as your system
default. Type: Y
9. Enter another printer name or quit setup. Type: Q
10. Do you want to start the remote daemon now? Type: Y
11. Using a line editor of your choice, verify the following on
your /etc/printcap file. If necessary, use the
following steps to change the “rp” entry.
lprprinter1:\
:lp=:\
:rm=lprprinter:\
:rp=PORT1:\
:sd=/usr/spool/lpd/lprprinter1:
12. Change the :rp=lprprinter: entry to :rp=PORT1.
13. Set this printer as the default printer and print a page, for

example, from a browser, to verify that the installation
was successful.
note: This information was based on the sample input
in the earlier steps. Actual parameters may vary
depending on prior setup.
CHAPTER 9
WEB PRINTING SETUP
OVERVIEW
NEC PrintAgent is innovative software that allows you to
print over the Internet in two ways, Remote Printing and Pull
Printing. PrintAgent is powered by redipS® Core software,
and available just by browsing to your printer’s home page.
Printer Home Page Features
All you do is browse to the printer’s home page and
download/install the PrintAgent driver to your system or
install directly from the CD that came with your SuperScript
color laser printer. When you print with the PrintAgent
driver, the job goes over the web to the printer, and printer
status comes back to your desktop on the PrintAgent Status
window. The first part of this chapter covers the following
topics about Remote Printing:
• System requirements
• Remote Printing setup
• Remote Printing from your desktop
• Getting printer status
• PrintAgent features
• PrintAgent menus and commands
NEC PrintAgent Pull Printing
Pull Printing is an ideal solution for busy offices that print
long, complex, or color rich documents. With Pull Printing,
your job is sent to a Pull Printing server to be processed. Then
the Pull Printing server delivers the job to the printer. This
frees your computer, and reduces network traffic. You can
also set up a secondary server to deliver printer Help files
and drivers to users, making the printer more efficient.
The URL is the IP address or host name
you assign to the Printer,
for example, http://131.241.45.65
PrintAgent Remote Printing
If you are a Windows 95/98 or Windows NT user, Remote
Printing is the easiest way to print over the web and get
instant printer status. You can print to any SuperScript color
laser printer anywhere, as long as you have its URL.
Pull Printing is also called “driverless” printing because you
don’t need a SuperScript Color Laser printer driver on your
system. You can pull print any Microsoft Word, Excel,
PowerPoint, .PDF file, or web page without opening it— just
by sending its location to the Pull Printing server. The server
does all the work and leaves your computer free for other
tasks. The second part of this chapter covers the following
topics about Pull Printing:
• Pull Printing from your desktop
• Server system requirements
• Server software installation
• Secondary server
• Configuring URLs
• Starting the Pull Printing server
39
REMOTE PRINTING

About the Secondary File Server
The PrintAgent Driver, Help files, and the PrintAgent Core
software reside on the printer. However, you have the option
of putting these files on a secondary server and then
changing the URLs to point to that server. This frees the
printer to process print jobs.
When Secondary File Server installation is complete, the
PrintAgent core files have been copied into the htdocs
directory, so the Secondary File server is ready to respond to
file transfer requests. However, if you want the Secondary
File server to deliver the two server .exe files, you must
manually copy the files DriverlessServer.exe and
SecondaryFileServer.exe from
<CD-ROM Drive>:\NEC_disk\redips_downloads
to
12. Secondary Server Setup
The Secondary Server Setup program starts after the Pull
Printing Setup program is finished.

APPENDIX A
TROUBLESHOOTING
Check Hardware Connections
•
•
Network Printing Problems
Use the checklists in this section to identify the cause of
network printing problems. If a problem persists, contact
NEC Printer Technical Support at NecTech’s web site
(www.nectech.com) or phone 1-800-632-4650.
Check the Printer Operation
Verify that the printer is plugged in, turned on, and online—
the green Online light on the Operator Panel should be lit, or
nothing will print.
Check the Network Settings Page
On power-up, the network printer produces a Network
Settings page which has useful information for
troubleshooting. Check the Network Settings page to see
which protocols are enabled and active. Confirm that the
network protocol you configured appears on the page. If not,
it should be reconfigured correctly for the network printer.
Check other Network Users
Determine if other network users can print. If they cannot
and they are all on the same network operating system, the
problem is most likely in the network configuration.
Review Recent System Changes
Verify that any hardware changes (installations,
modifications, removals), to the printer or network, were
done correctly. If you added a new software application,
make sure the program is compatible and installed correctly
on the network.
•
•
Be sure that your cable is a Category 5 twisted pair cable
with RJ-45 connectors for 10/100Base-T ethernet.
Check that the network connector is plugged into the RJ45 connector on the NIC.
Try another cable to make sure you do not have a bad
cable.
If you are using a 10/100Base-T concentrator hub that
does not support the link signal, use Manual Ethernet
Port selection instead of the factory default, Automatic
Ethernet Port selection.
Check NIC Status Lights
Check the NIC’s status lights to ensure that there is no error
condition. The two status lights, amber and green, are located
on the interface panel on the back of the printer. The green
light should be lit and steady. Light patterns that indicate
serious hardware problems or software errors are shown
below. If you see one of these patterns, you should contact
NEC Printer Technical Support.
Green light blinks rapidly: This occurs when the
printer performs a self-test and detects bad SIMM.
Green light blinks rapidly 4 times, pauses: This
occurs when the printer performs a self-test and detects a
problem in the Ethernet hardware.
Amber light blinks short for 10 seconds, then goes
out, and the green light blinks continuously: This
occurs when the printer performs a flash memory selftest and the checksum fails.
Green light blinks slowly: When this happens after
power-on completes, it indicates an interface error.
Green light blinks rapidly: When this happens while
the printer awaits print jobs, it indicates that the NetWare
connection has been lost.
Green and amber lights blink alternately: This would
occur when you turn on the printer after restoring
factory defaults, and indicates an error.
57
Troubleshooting for NT Server
If you have a problem printing large files from the Pull
Printing server the problem may be that the server “timed
out.” If this is the case help can be found by accessing the
following URL:
•
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/
articles/Q209/3/91.asp
•
•
Troubleshooting for NetWare
Use the Network Administration page options to
troubleshoot in an IPX environment. The checklists in this
section show what to look for. If you are still having
problems phone NecTech support at 1-800-632-4650.
NetWare Checklist
• Is the NIC name entered correctly? The factory-default
name is NEC_<serial number>
The serial number is on the back of the NIC and also
shown at the top of the Network Settings page.
• Did you assign print queues to the printer? It is
recommended you assign each print queue to a specific
printer NIC. If print queues are assigned to other
network printers, the print jobs may be going to another
network printer.
• Did you assign the printer to the type Remote Other /
Unknown?
If the PCONSOLE NWAdmin settings are correct, the
connection between the printer and network may have been
broken. Turn the printer off and, using PCONSOLE, wait for
the status message Not Connected. Turn the printer on and
the status should change to Waiting for Job.
File Server Checklist
• Is there enough disk space on the file server and is it
running?
• Is the correct file server associated with the printer? Use
PCONSOLE to check.
• Did you have the proper rights to configure the printer?
Computer Checklist
• Is the network loaded onto the computer? See your
58
SuperScript Color Laser Network Guide
•
•
NetWare documentation.
Is the application set up to print to the printer? Are you
using the correct driver?
Is the workstation connected to the correct print queue?
Print a file and verify that the file goes to the queue.
Are the print queues assigned to the NIC-connected
printer also assigned to another network printer? If they
are, the print jobs may be going to that printer.
Is AUTO ENDCAP enabled? AUTO ENDCAP lets you
send data to a network printer. If it is not enabled, enable
it.
Are text files printing but graphic files not? The printing
may be timing out. Use NetWare's PRINTCON or
CAPTURE to set a longer timeout period. Set the time to
at least two minutes for graphics applications.
NIC Configuration Checklist
If all your hardware connections are correct, check the
following
• The Network Settings page shows the status for the
selected network interface card. This report includes the
status of file servers and queues assigned to a printer
along with a description of any problems.
• The printer may not be assigned to the correct print
queues. Use PCONSOLE to direct print jobs to the correct
queues, then check to see if the print job is in the queue.
• If devices were added or changed, use PCONSOLE to
make sure you configured the new devices correctly.
• Make sure the printer name has been entered correctly. If
you changed the name using the NIC Home Page, you
must also change the name in PCONSOLE.
• You cannot use PCONSOLE Version 1.0 to configure the
NIC. Contact Novell for an upgrade.
Computer to NIC Connection Checklist
To make sure the computer is communicating with the NIC,
perform these tests.
• Print a file from the workstation and make sure the print
job gets to the print queue using PCONSOLE. If the print
job does get to the queue, the problem is not with the
workstation/NIC connection.
• Use CAPTURE to send data to the printer from a
workstation software application. See your NetWare
print server manual for information.
• Make sure another printer is not taking the print jobs
from the queues before the NIC can service the job. To do
this, disable the other printer and send another
print job.
Troubleshooting for MacOS
•
•
•
•
•
Is the Macintosh computer connected to the network
through Ethernet, and has the correct network port been
selected?
Did you select the correct printer driver, zone, and
printer name in the Chooser?
If you renamed the printer in the Apple Utility, you must
turn the printer off then on, and then reselect the printer
under its new name in the Chooser.
If you placed the printer in a new zone, be sure you
reselected the zone and the printer name in the Chooser.
In the following example the printer’s name changed.
The default name for the printer is SuperScript 4600N # ,
where # is the sequential number of 4600N printers
installed. If a user changes the name of SuperScript 4600
2 to Mary’s Printer, the last printer in line will be
reassigned the name Superscript 4600 2, and the print
path must be changed using the Chooser for the system
to work again.
NIC Loses Its File Server Connection: If the network
printer loses its connection to the file server, it will take
approximately five to 10 minutes to reconnect. If the
connection is not made after a reasonable amount of
time, check the error conditions to troubleshoot the
problem.
Unable to Print from a Different Context: The NIC
does not support printing from a context other than the
one you specified using the MAP utility on your Web
browser. To do this, you must create an alias queue. See
your NetWare Manual for more info.
Network Printing Problems
59
TROUBLESHOOTING
NIC/File Server/Printer Checklist
Check the following to see if the NIC and file server are
sending data to the printer. If the NIC cannot log onto the file
server, or cannot service jobs from a file server
• The network printer is not created on that file server. Use
PCONSOLE to create the print server on the correct file
server.
• Use PCONSOLE to check if the print jobs are being sent
to the printer. Be sure the print job is in the print queue
and waiting to be printed.

APPENDIX C
SAFETY INFORMATION
This chapter provides safety information and product
specifications for SuperScript color laser printers. As you
operate your printer, please be aware of the following safety
considerations.
It takes two people to lift this printer and keep it level!
•
•
•
•
•
Extremely low relative humidity
Poor room ventilation
The exhaust port of the printer is directed towards the
face of personnel
The existing ozone filter is in poor condition
Long, continuous printing combined with any of the
above
Inspect your work environment for the operating conditions
listed above if you believe ozone emissions are a problem in
your area. Some people may be ultra-sensitive to ozone odor.
If these situations are encountered, it is advisable to position
the printer away from the sensitive user.
Laser Safety
Ozone Emission
This printer is certified as a Class 1 laser product under the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS)
Radiation Performance Standard according to the Radiation
Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968. This means that
the printer does not produce hazardous laser radiation.
The corona assemblies found in laser printers and
photocopiers generate ozone gas (O3) as a by-product of the
electrophotographic process. Ozone is only generated while
the printer is printing (while the coronas are energized).
Since radiation emitted inside the printer is completely
confined within protective housings and external covers, the
laser beam cannot escape from the machine during any phase
of user operation.
UL Standards for Ozone
The only existing standard for ozone emissions has been
established by Underwriters Laboratory (UL). All
SuperScript family printers meet this standard when shipped
from the factory to our customers.
CDRH Regulations
Employer Responsibilities
Because ozone can be an irritant, various regulatory agencies
have established limits to the amount of ozone to which
employees may be exposed. The employer is responsible for
providing a safe work environment that meets the agencies’
standards.
Recommendations for Minimizing Ozone Exposure
Almost all ozone concerns arise from abnormal site or
operating conditions. The following conditions may generate
an ozone complaint:
• Installation of multiple laser printers in a confined area
The Center of Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) of
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration implemented
regulations for laser products on August 2, 1976. These
regulations apply to laser products manufactured after
August 1, 1976. Compliance is mandatory for products
marketed in the United States. The printer’s rear panel
indicates compliance with the CDRH regulations and must
be attached to laser products marketed in the United States.
Caution! Use of controls, adjustments, or
performance of procedures other than those
specified in this user’s guide may result in
hazardous radiation exposure.
